If adolescence now lasts until 24

( ) I feel I missed out. By the time I went to university at 18 I was assumed to be an adult, in charge of my own finances, health, living accommodation etc. By 24, I had a degree, a husband and a son not to mention a shedload of RA problems.
May I claim a few adolescent years back, please?

Just at the minute I could do with that rather than having to be the grown up sorting out the roof damaged by the storm - being a capable(allegedly) single person has its downsides on occasion!
Mind you they came back equipped with grandchildren!

At 62, I'm capable of making better decisions than I did, whether I do all the time is another thing! I'vs just spent 20mins in the car with gc no.4 playing the daftest of games, we laughed ourselves silly, well it made walking up to school in the rain and cold easier. I suppose I am more comfortable in my own skin now.
